Granite Range

The Granite Range is a rugged mountain range located in central Alaska, known for its dramatic granite peaks and glaciated landscapes. Spanning an area of over 1,500 square miles, the range is characterized by steep, jagged ridges, deep glacial valleys, and numerous alpine lakes and tarns. The geology is dominated by Mesozoic-era granitic intrusions, which have been sculpted by glacial erosion over millennia, creating the range's distinctive angular peaks and ridges.
